Surgery fund for Jackson: septoplasty in Springfield

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Jackson was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Springfield
Jackson was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in October. The surgeon at Springfield General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $7,250 short. my son has been in and out of Springfield General Hospital since October. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jackson struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Jackson won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,250 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $710 • Post-operative medication: $400 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Wayne

  1. Small update. $250 so far, I made the first payment toward surgeon and anesthesia fees.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) I made the first payment toward travel and lodging for the family. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $60 raised so far (1%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
